| 1 | A single circular chromosome yeast显示文摘Dear editor,Most of the prokaryotic cells contain a single circular chromosome.In contrast, the eukaryotic cells usually contain multiple linear chromosomes. Recently, we artificially created a single linear chromosome yeast strain SY14 from native 16 chromosomes in a haploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which displays minor fitness defects.^1 In this study, we have created a new yeast strain which contains a single circular chromosome and apparently has not been found in nature. | Yangyang Shao Ning Lu Chen Cai Fan Zhou Shanshan Wang Zhihu Zhao Guoping Zhao Jin-Qiu Zhou Xiaoli Xue Zhongjun Qin | 2019 | Cell Research2019，29，1： | 5 |
| 2 | Binding between Prion Protein and Aβ Oligomers Contributes to the Pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s Disease显示文摘A plethora of evidence suggests that protein misfolding and aggregation are underlying mechanisms of various neurodegenerative diseases,such as prion diseases and Alzheimer's disease(AD).Like prion diseases,AD has been considered as an infectious disease in the past decades as it shows strain specificity and transmission potential.Although it remains elusive how protein aggregation leads to AD,it is becoming clear that cellular prion protein(PrP^c)plays an important role in AD pathogenesis.Here,we briefly reviewed AD pathogenesis and focused on recent progresses how PrP^c contributed to AD development.In addition,we proposed a potential mechanism to explain why infectious agents,such as viruses,conduce AD pathogenesis.Microbe infections cause AD deposition and upregulation of PrP^c,which lead to high affinity binding between AD oligomers and PrP^c.The interaction between PrP^c and AP oligomers in turn activates the Fyn signaling cascade,resulting in neuron death in the central nervous system(CNS).Thus,silencing PrP^c expression may turn out be an effective treatment for PrP^c dependent AD. | Chang Kong Hao Xie Zhenxing Gao Ming Shao Huan Li Run Shi Lili Cai Shanshan Gao Taolei Sun Chaoyang Li | 2019 | Virologica Sinica2019，34，5： | 4 |
| 3 | Costunolide covalently targets NACHT domain of NLRP3 to inhibit inflammasome activation and alleviate NLRP3-driven inflammatory diseases显示文摘The NLRP3 inflammasome’s core and most specific protein,NLRP3,has a variety of functions in inflammation-driven diseases.Costunolide(COS)is the major active ingredient of the traditional Chinese medicinal herb Saussurea lappa and has anti-inflammatory activity,but the principal mechanism and molecular target of COS remain unclear.Here,we show that COS covalently binds to cysteine 598 in NACHT domain of NLRP3,altering the ATPase activity and assembly of NLRP3 inflammasome.We declare COS’s great anti-inflammasome efficacy in macrophages and disease models of gouty arthritis and ulcerative colitis via inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation.We also reveal that theα-methylene-γ-butyrolactone motif in sesquiterpene lactone is the certain active group in inhibiting NLRP3 activation.Taken together,NLRP3 is identified as a direct target of COS for its anti-inflammasome activity.COS,especially theα-methylene-γ-butyrolactone motif in COS structure,might be used to design and produce novel NLRP3 inhibitors as a lead compound. | Haowen Xu Jiahao Chen Pan Chen Weifeng Li Jingjing Shao Shanshan Hong Yi Wang Lingfeng Chen Wu Luo Guang Liang | 2023 | Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B2023，13，2： | 2 |

| 5 | Future Event Prediction Based on Temporal Knowledge Graph Embedding显示文摘Accurate prediction of future events brings great benefits and reduces losses for society in many domains,such as civil unrest,pandemics,and crimes.Knowledge graph is a general language for describing and modeling complex systems.Different types of events continually occur,which are often related to historical and concurrent events.In this paper,we formalize the future event prediction as a temporal knowledge graph reasoning problem.Most existing studies either conduct reasoning on static knowledge graphs or assume knowledges graphs of all timestamps are available during the training process.As a result,they cannot effectively reason over temporal knowledge graphs and predict events happening in the future.To address this problem,some recent works learn to infer future events based on historical eventbased temporal knowledge graphs.However,these methods do not comprehensively consider the latent patterns and influences behind historical events and concurrent events simultaneously.This paper proposes a new graph representation learning model,namely Recurrent Event Graph ATtention Network(RE-GAT),based on a novel historical and concurrent events attention-aware mechanism by modeling the event knowledge graph sequence recurrently.More specifically,our RE-GAT uses an attention-based historical events embedding module to encode past events,and employs an attention-based concurrent events embedding module to model the associations of events at the same timestamp.A translation-based decoder module and a learning objective are developed to optimize the embeddings of entities and relations.We evaluate our proposed method on four benchmark datasets.Extensive experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our RE-GAT model comparing to various base-lines,which proves that our method can more accurately predict what events are going to happen. | Zhipeng Li Shanshan Feng Jun Shi Yang Zhou Yong Liao Yangzhao Yang Yangyang Li Nenghai Yu Xun Shao | 2023 | Computer Systems Science & Engineering2023，44，3： | 1 |
| 6 | Sustainability of SARS-CoV-2 Induced Humoral Immune Responses in COVID-19 Patients from Hospitalization to Convalescence Over Six Months显示文摘Understanding the persistence of antibody in convalescent COVID-19 patients may help to answer the current major concerns such as the risk of reinfection,the protection period of vaccination and the possibility of building an active herd immunity.This retrospective cohort study included 172 COVID-19 patients who were hospitalized in Wuhan.A total of404 serum samples were obtained over six months from hospitalization to convalescence.Antibodies in the specimens were quantitatively analyzed by the capture chemiluminescence immunoassays(CLIA).All patients were positive for the anti-SARS-Co V-2 Ig M/Ig G at the onset of COVID-19 symptoms,and the Ig G antibody persisted in all the patients during the convalescence.However,only approximately 25%of patients can detect the Ig M antibodies,Ig M against N protein(NIg M)and receptor binding domain of S protein(RBD-Ig M)at the 27 th week.The titers of Ig M,N-Ig M and RBD-Ig M reduced to 16.7%,17.6%and 15.2%of their peak values respectively.In contrast,the titers of Ig G,N-Ig G and RBD-Ig G peaked at 4–5 th week and reduced to 85.9%,62.6%and 87.2%of their peak values respectively at the end of observation.Dynamic behavior of antibodies and their correlation in age,gender and severity groups were investigated.In general,the COVID-19 antibody was sustained at high levels for over six months in most of the convalescent patients.Only a few patients with antibody reducing to an undetectable level which needs further attention.The humoral immune response against SARS-Co V-2 infection in COVID-19 patients exhibits a typical dynamic of acquired immunity. | Yang Zheng Qing Zhang Ashaq Ali Ke Li Nan Shao Xiaoli Zhou Zhiqin Ye Xiaomin Chen Shanshan Cao Jing Cui Juan Zhou Dianbing Wang Baidong Hou Min Li Mengmeng Cui Lihua Deng Xinyi Sun Qian Zhang Qinfang Yang Yong li Hui Wang Yake Lei Bo Yu Yegang Cheng Xiaolin Tong Dong Men Xian-En Zhang | 2021 | Virologica Sinica2021，36，5： | 1 |
| 7 | TCF-1 deficiency influences the composition of intestinal microbiota and enhances susceptibility to colonic inflammation显示文摘Dear Editor,The diversity and composition of gut microbiota play critical roles for maintaining the homeostasis of host commensal bacteria which are correlated with mammalian health(Ding and Schloss,2014).Disorder of microbial community is implicated in the pathogenesis of several human diseases,such as autoimmune disease,allergy,diabetes,obesity,and inflammatory bowel disease(IBD),which is clearly demonstrated to relate to gut dysbiosis in patients and mouse models(Saleh and Elson,2011). | Guotao Yu Fang Wang Menghao You Tiansong Xu Chunlei Shao Yuning Liu Ruiqi Liu Min Deng Zhihong Qi Zhao Wang Jingjing Liu Yingpeng Yao Jingjing Chen Zhen Sun Shanshan Hao Wenhui Guo Tianyan Zhao Zhengquan Yu Qian Zhang Yaofeng Zhao Feng Chen Shuyang Yu | 2020 | Protein & Cell2020，11，5： | 1 |
| 8 | Single-cell-resolution transcriptome map revealed novel genes involved in testicular germ cell progression and somatic cells specification in Chinese tongue sole with sex reversal显示文摘Female-to-male sex reversals(pseudomales)are common in lower vertebrates and have been found in natural populations,which is a concern under rapid changes in environmental conditions.Pseudomales can exhibit altered spermatogenesis.However,the regulatory mechanisms underlying pseudomale spermatogenesis remain unclear.Here,we characterized spermatogenesis in Chinese tongue sole(Cynoglossus semilaevis),a species with genetic and environmental sex determination,based on a highresolution single-cell RNA-seq atlas of cells derived from the testes of genotypic males and pseudomales.We identified five germ cell types and six somatic cell types and obtained a single-cell atlas of dynamic changes in gene expression during spermatogenesis in Chinese tongue sole,including alterations in pseudomales.We detected decreased levels of Ca^(2+)signaling pathway-related genes in spermatogonia,insufficient meiotic initiation in spermatocytes,and a malfunction of somatic niche cells in pseudomales.However,a cluster of CaSR genes and MAPK signaling factors were upregulated in undifferentiated spermatogonia of pseudomales.Additionally,we revealed that Z chromosome-specific genes,such as piwil2,dhx37,and ehmt1,were important for spermatogenesis.These results improve our understanding of reproduction after female-to-male sex-reversal and provide new insights into the adaptability of reproductive strategies in lower vertebrates. | Hong-Yan Wang Xiang Liu Jian-Yang Chen Yingyi Huang Yifang Lu Fujian Tan Qun Liu Mingming Yang Shuo Li Xianghui Zhang Yating Qin Wenxiu Ma Yingming Yang Liang Meng Kaiqiang Liu Qian Wang Guangyi Fan Rafael H.Nóbrega Shanshan Liu Francesc Piferrer Changwei Shao | 2023 | Science China(Life Sciences)2023，66，5： | 1 |
| 9 | The First High-quality Reference Genome of Sika Deer Provides Insights into High-tannin Adaptation显示文摘Sika deer are known to prefer oak leaves,which are rich in tannins and toxic to most mammals;however,the genetic mechanisms underlying their unique ability to adapt to living in the jungle are still unclear.In identifying the mechanism responsible for the tolerance of a highly toxic diet,we have made a major advancement by explaining the genome of sika deer.We generated the first high-quality,chromosome-level genome assembly of sika deer and measured the correlation between tannin intake and RNA expression in 15 tissues through 180 experiments.Comparative genome analyses showed that the UGT and CYP gene families are functionally involved in the adaptation of sika deer to high-tannin food,especially the expansion of the UGT family 2 subfamily B of UGT genes.The first chromosome-level assembly and genetic characterization of the tolerance to a highly toxic diet suggest that the sika deer genome may serve as an essential resource for understanding evolutionary events and tannin adaptation.Our study provides a paradigm of comparative expressive genomics that can be applied to the study of unique biological features in non-model animals. | Xiumei Xing Cheng Ai Tianjiao Wang Yang Li Huitao Liu Pengfei Hu Guiwu Wang Huamiao Liu Hongliang Wang Ranran Zhang Junjun Zheng Xiaobo Wang Lei Wang Yuxiao Chang Qian Qian Jinghua Yu Lixin Tang Shigang Wu Xiujuan Shao Alun Li Peng Cui Wei Zhan Sheng Zhao Zhichao Wu Xiqun Shao Yimeng Dong Min Rong Yihong Tan Xuezhe Cui Shuzhuo Chang Xingchao Song Tongao Yang Limin Sun Yan Ju Pei Zhao Huanhuan Fan Ying Liu Xinhui Wang Wanyun Yang Min Yang Tao Wei Shanshan Song Jiaping Xu Zhigang Yue Qiqi Liang Chunyi Li Jue Ruan Fuhe Yang | 2023 | Genomics, Proteomics & Bioinformatics2023，21，1： | 1 |
| 10 | Using Methanol as a Formaldehyde Surrogate for Sustainable Synthesis of N-Heterocycles via Manganese-Catalyzed Dehydrogenative Cyclization显示文摘The development of an efficient and sustainable synthetic route for formaldehyde production from renewable feedstock,especially in combination with a subsequent transformation to straightforwardly construct valuable chemicals,is highly desirable.Herein,we report a novel manganese-catalyzed dehydrogenative cyclization of methanol as a formaldehyde surrogate with a variety of dinucleophiles for facile synthesis of N-heterocycles.The in situ generated formaldehyde via catalytic methanol dehydrogenation can be selectively trapped by diverse dinucleophiles to avoid several possible side reactions.The utilty of this transformation is further highlighted by its successful appliation to the synthesis of 13C-labeled N-heterocycles using 13CH_(3)OH as a readily accessible 13C-isotope reagent. | Zhihui Shao Shanshan Yuan Yibiao Li Qiang Liu | 2022 | Chinese Journal of Chemistry2022，40，10： | 1 |
| 11 | Physical Activity,Sedentary Behavior,and the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients:The MIDiab Study显示文摘The aim of this study was to explore the associations of moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity(MVPA)time and sedentary(SED)time with a history of cardiovascular disease(CVD)and multifactorial(i.e.,blood pressure(BP),body mass index(BMI),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),and glycated hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c))control status among type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)patients in China.A cross-sectional analysis of 9152 people with type 2 diabetes from the Multifactorial Intervention on Type 2 Diabetes(MIDiab)study was performed.Patients were grouped according to their self-reported MVPA time(low,<150 min·week−1;moderate,150 to<450 min·week−1;high,≥450 min·week−1)and SED time(low,<4 h·d–1;moderate,4 to<8 h·d–1;high,≥8 h·d–1).Participants who self-reported a history of CVD were identified as having a CVD risk.Odds ratios(ORs)and 95%confidence intervals(CIs)of CVD risk and multifactorial control status associated with MVPA time and SED time were estimated using mixed-effect logistic regression models,adjusting for China’s geographical region characteristics.The participants had a mean±standard deviation(SD)age of(60.87±8.44)years,44.5%were women,and 25.1%had CVD.After adjustment for potential confounding factors,an inverse association between high MVPA time and CVD risk that was independent of SED time was found,whereas this association was not observed in the moderate-MVPA group.A higher MVPA time was more likely to have a positive effect on the control of BMI.Compared with the reference group(i.e.,those with MVPA time≥450 min·week−1 and SED time<4 h·d–1),CVD risk was higher in the low-MVPA group:The OR associated with an SED time<4 h·d–1 was 1.270(95%CI,1.040–1.553)and that associated with an SED time≥8 h·d–1 was 1.499(95%CI,1.149–1.955).We found that a high MVPA time(i.e.,≥450 min·week−1)was associated with lower odds of CVD risk regardless of SED time among patients with T2DM. | Yafei Wu Guijun Qin Guixia Wang Libin Liu Bing Chen Qingbo Guan Zhongshang Yuan Xu Hou Ling Gao Chao Xu Haiqing Zhang Xu Zhang Qiu Li Yongfeng Song Fei Jing Shizhan Ma Shanshan Shao Meng Zhao Qingling Guo Nanwei Tong Hongyan Zhao Xiaomin Xie Chao Liu Zhongyan Shan Zhifeng Cheng Xuefeng Yu Shulin Chen Tao Yang Yangang Wang Dongmei Li Zhaoli Yan Lixin Guo Qiuhe Ji Wenjuan Wang Jiajun Zhao | 2023 | Engineering2023，，1： | 1 |
| 12 | Narrow bandgap molecular dyads incorporating Y-series acceptor backbones for efficient single-molecular organic solar cells显示文摘The performance of organic solar cells(OSCs)is mainly related to the bulk heterojunction(BHJ)microstructure of specific active layer systems,which is often in a metastable state.A promising strategy to address the abovementioned shortcomings of BHJs is to develop single-component active layer materials.Owing to the single-component small molecule materials with defined chemical structures generally exhibit poor absorption spectra,herein we first introduced narrow bandgap Y-series acceptors into the molecular skeleton of single-component materials,and designed two molecular dyads,SM-Et-1Y and SM-Et-2Y.The optical bandgaps(E_g~(opt)s)of the two dyads are 1.364 and 1.361 eV,respectively,which are much smaller than those of previously reported single-component molecules.Consequently,the SM-Et-2Y-based single-component OSCs(SCOSCs)showed a power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 5.07%,superior to SM-Et-1Y(2.53%),which is one of the highest PCEs reported for SCOSCs to date.Moreover,both SM-Et-1Y-and SM-Et-2Y-based devices exhibited excellent photo-stability,retaining over 90%of their initial performance after 250 h of continuous illumination.Our results provide a deeper understanding of the molecular backbone and a guiding principle for the rational design or selection of non-fullerene single-component materials with suitable donor/acceptor ratios. | Yuan Gao Bo Xiao Shanshan Wang Mingxia Chen Wei Wang Xinrong Yang Yiming Shao Rui Sun Jie Min | 2023 | Science China Chemistry2023，66，11： | 0 |
| 13 | Characterization of the cyp19a1a gene from a BAC sequence in half-smooth tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis) and analysis of its conservation among teleosts显示文摘The cyp19a1a gene encodes an aromatase that plays a key role in sex differentiation of the gonad. The first bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) sequence of half-smooth tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis) containing the intact cyp19a1a gene was reported and the conservation and synteny of the cyp19a1a gene among teleosts were analyzed in the study. The BAC is 107 367 bp in size, with an overall guanine-cytosine (GC) content of 43.44%, and contains 4.38% transposable elements. Nine genes were predicted, including seven functional genes and two hypothetical genes. The cyp19a1a gene of all tested teleosts has nine exons and eight introns, and potential binding sites flanking the transcriptional start site are conserved. The expression pattern among teleosts is also similar during ovarian differentiation. Synteny analysis revealed a conserved gene cluster PKH4B-SL9A5-FHOD3-CEBPG-CEBPA among teleosts. These findings suggest that, among teleosts, cyp19a1a genes not only have similar genomic structures, but also have conserved functions. The genomic environment of cyp19a1a in tongue sole is not universal in teleosts, reflecting the particular evolution of tongue sole cyp19a1a after it diverged from the other teleosts. | SHAO Changwei LIU Geng LIU Shanshan LIU Changlin CHEN Songlin | 2013 | Acta Oceanologica Sinica2013，32，8： | 0 |
| 14 | Safety and Efficacy of Biodegradable Patent Foramen Ovale Occluder in Patients with Migraine:A Clinical Trial显示文摘Background:Transcatheter closure of patent foramen ovale(PFO)has been widely accepted as a highly effective way to treat high-risk PFO-related diseases.However,traditional non-degradable occluders made of metal alloys will permanently exist in the body,resulting in thrombosis,valve damage,hemolysis,arrhythmia,or other complications.The biodegradable PFO occluder developed by Shanghai Mallow Medical Instrument Co.,Ltd.,China can be fully absorbed and degrade into nontoxic ingredients,reducing postoperative complications.Objectives:To study the safety and efficacy of biodegradable PFO occluders in treating PFO.Methods:This single-center clinical trial collected 30 patients treated with a biodegradable PFO occluder.The follow-up period lasted 12 months to analyze the echocardiographic characteristics and headache relief through HIT-6 scores.Results:The immediate success rate was 100%,with no intraoperative severe occlusion-related complications.The contrast transcranial Doppler(cTCD)at 12 months showed that all patients’right-to-left shunts(RLS)were grade I or 0 with no serious postoperative complications,indicating the overall success rate was 100%.The biodegradable PFO occluder mostly degraded six months after the occlusion.Conclusion:PFO closure with a Mallow biodegradable occluder is safe and effective and has no severe complications. | Xingbang Li Xuan Zheng Bowen Jin Yunyan Li Yongyu Shao Xiaoxian Deng Dingyang Li Shanshan Li Hongmei Zhou Jie Zhang Xianya Zhang Qunshan Shen Gangcheng Zhang | 2023 | Congenital Heart Disease2023，18，3： | 0 |
| 15 | Nuclear peripheral chromatin-lamin B1 interaction is required for global integrity of chromatin architecture and dynamics in human cells显示文摘The eukaryotic genome is folded into higher-order conformation accompanied with constrained dynamics for coordinated genome functions.However,the molecular machinery underlying these hierarchically organized three-dimensional(3D)chromatin architecture and dynamics remains poorly understood.Here by combining imaging and sequencing,we studied the role of lamin B1 in chromatin architecture and dynamics.We found that lamin B1 depletion leads to detachment of lamina-associated domains(LADs)from the nuclear periphery accompanied with global chromatin redistribution and decompaction.Consequently,the interchromosomal as well as inter-compartment interactions are increased,but the structure of topologically associating domains(TADs)is not affected.Using live-cell genomic loci tracking,we further proved that depletion of lamin B1 leads to increased chromatin dynamics,owing to chromatin decompaction and redistribution toward nucleoplasm.Taken together,our data suggest that lamin B1 and chromatin interactions at the nuclear periphery promote LAD maintenance,chromatin compaction,genomic compartmentalization into chromosome territories and A/B compartments and confine chromatin dynamics,supporting their crucial roles in chromatin higher-order structure and chromatin dynamics. | Lei Chang Mengfan Li Shipeng Shao Chen Li Shanshan Ai Boxin Xue Yingping Hou Yiwen Zhang Ruifeng Li Xiaoying Fan Aibin He Cheng Li Yujie Sun | 2022 | Protein & Cell2022，13，4： | 0 |
| 16 | Tumor Necrosis Factor a Reduces SNAP29 Dependent Autolysosome Formation to Increase Prion Protein Level and Promote Tumor Cell Migration显示文摘Tumor Necrosis Factor α(TNFα) is best known as a mediator of inflammation and immunity, and also plays important roles in tumor biology. However, the role of TNFα in tumor biology is complex and not completely understood. In a human melanoma cell line, M2, and a lung carcinoma cell line, A549, TNFα up-regulates prion protein(PrP) level, and promotes tumor cell migration in a PrP dependent manner. Silencing PRNP abrogates TNFα induced tumor cell migration;this phenotype is reversed when PRNP is re-introduced. Treatment with TNFα activates nuclear factor kappa B(NF-κB)signaling, which then mitigates autophagy by reducing the expression of Forkhead Box P3(FOXP3). Down regulation of FOXP3 reduces the transcription of synaptosome associated protein 29(SNAP29), which is essential in the fusion of autophagosome and lysosome creating autolysosome. FOXP3 being a bona fide transcription factor for SNAP29 is confirmed in a promoter binding assay. Accordingly, silencing SNAP29 in these cell lines also up-regulates PrP, and promotes tumor cell migration without TNFα treatment. But, when SNAP29 or FOXP3 is silenced in these cells, they are no longer respond to TNFα. Thus, a reduction in autophagy is the underlying mechanism by which expression of PrP is up-regulated,and tumor cell migration is enhanced upon TNFα treatment. Disrupting the TNFα-NF-κB-FOXP3-SNAP29 signaling axis may provide a therapeutic approach to mitigate tumor cell migration. | Huan Li Ren Wang Ze Yu Run Shi Jie Zhang Shanshan Gao Ming Shao Shuzhong Cui Zhenxing Gao Jiang Xu Man-Sun Sy Chaoyang Li | 2021 | Virologica Sinica2021，36，3： | 0 |
| 17 | Transcriptional regulation of bark freezing tolerance in apple(Malus domestica Borkh.)显示文摘Freezing tolerance is a significant trait in plants that grow in cold environments and survive through the winter.Apple(Malus domestica Borkh.)is a cold-tolerant fruit tree,and the cold tolerance of its bark is important for its survival at low temperatures.However,little is known about the gene activity related to its freezing tolerance.To better understand the gene expression and regulation properties of freezing tolerance in dormant apple trees,we analyzed the transcriptomic divergences in the bark from 1-year-old branches of two apple cultivars,“Golden Delicious”(G)and“Jinhong”(H),which have different levels of cold resistance,under chilling and freezing treatments.“H”can safely overwinter below−30℃in extremely low-temperature regions,whereas“G”experiences severe freezing damage and death in similar environments.Based on 28 bark transcriptomes(from the epidermis,phloem,and cambium)from 1-year-old branches under seven temperature treatments(from 4 to−29°C),we identified 4173 and 7734 differentially expressed genes(DEGs)in“G”and“H”,respectively,between the chilling and freezing treatments.A gene coexpression network was constructed according to this expression information using weighted gene correlation network analysis(WGCNA),and seven biologically meaningful coexpression modules were identified from the network.The expression profiles of the genes from these modules suggested the gene regulatory pathways that are responsible for the chilling and freezing stress responses of“G”and/or“H.”Module 7 was probably related to freezing acclimation and freezing damage in“H”at the lower temperatures.This module contained more interconnected hub transcription factors(TFs)and cold-responsive genes(CORs).Modules 6 and 7 contained C-repeat binding factor(CBF)TFs,and many CBF-dependent homologs were identified as hub genes.We also found that some hub TFs had higher intramodular connectivity(KME)and gene significance(GS)than CBFs.Specifically,most hub TFs in modules 6 and 7 were activated at the beginning of the early freezing stress phase and maintained upregulated expression during the whole freezing stress period in“G”and“H”.The upregulation of DEGs related to methionine and carbohydrate biosynthetic processes in“H”under more severe freezing stress supported the maintenance of homeostasis in the cellular membrane.This study improves our understanding of the transcriptional regulation patterns underlying freezing tolerance in the bark of apple branches. | Yinghai Liang Shanshan Wang Chenhui Zhao Xinwei Ma Yiyong Zhao Jing Shao Yuebo Li Honglian Li Hongwei Song Hong Ma Hao Li Bingbing Zhang Liangsheng Zhang | 2020 | Horticulture Research2020，7，1： | 0 |
| 18 | Atypical pituitary hormone–target tissue axis显示文摘A long-held belief is that pituitary hormones bind to their cognate receptors in classical target glands to actuate their manifold functions.However,a number of studies have shown that multiple types of pituitary hormone receptors are widely expressed in non-classical target organs.Each pituitary gland-derived hormone exhibits a wide range of nonconventional biological effects in these non-classical target organs.Herein,the extra biological functions of pituitary hormones,thyroid-stimulating hormone,follicle-stimulating hormone,luteinizing hormone,adrenocorticotrophic hormone,and prolactin when they act on non-classical organs were summarized,defined by the novel concept of an“atypical pituitary hormone–target tissue axis.”This novel proposal explains the pathomechanisms of abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism,obesity,hypertension,fatty liver,and atherosclerosis while offering a more comprehensive and systematic insights into the coordinated regulation of environmental factors,genetic factors,and neuroendocrine hormones on human biological functions.The continued exploration of the physiology of the“atypical pituitary hormone–target tissue axis”could enable the identification of novel therapeutic targets for metabolic diseases. | Chao Xu Zhao He Yongfeng Song Shanshan Shao Guang Yang Jiajun Zhao | 2023 | Frontiers of Medicine2023，17，1： | 0 |
| 19 | Evolution of GCGR family ligand-receptor extensive cross-interaction systems suggests a therapeutic direction for hyperglycemia in mammals显示文摘Glucose is essential to the physiological processes of vertebrates.Mammalian physiological stability requires a relatively stable blood glucose level(~5 mM),whereas other vertebrates have greater flexibility in regulating blood glucose(0.5–25 mM).GCGR family receptors play an important role in vertebrate glucose regulation.Here,we examine the evolution of the GCGR family ligand-receptor systems in different species.Comparatively,we discover that the conserved sequences among GCG family ligands lead to the non-specific activation of ligands across species.In particular,we observe that glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor(GLP1R),glucagon-like peptide 2 receptor(GLP2R),and glucagon-like receptor(GCGLR,also called GCRPR)are arbitrarily activated by other members of the ligand family in birds.Moreover,we reveal that Gallus gallus GLP2(gGLP2)effectively activates mammalian GLP1R and improves glucose tolerance in diabetic mice.Our study has important implications for understanding blood glucose stabilization in vertebrates and demonstrates that gGLP2 may be a potential drug for treating type 2 diabetes. | Jian Liu Xue Wang Wenli Zhang Guangneng Liao Zhenhua Shao Juergen Brosius Cheng Deng Shanshan Lai Enwu Long | 2023 | Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica2023，55，12： | 0 |
| 20 | Functionalized gadofullerene ameliorates impaired glycolipid metabolism in type 2 diabetic mice显示文摘The soaring global prevalence of diabetes makes it urgent to explore new drugs with high efficacy and safety.Nanomaterial-derived bioactive agents are emerging as one of the most promising candidates for biomedical application.In the present study,we investigated the anti-diabetic effects of a functionalized gadofullerene(GF)using obese db/db and non-obese mouse model of type 2 diabete mellitus(MKR)mouse type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)models.In both mouse models,the diabetic phenotypes,including hyperglycemia,impaired glucose tolerance,and insulin sensitivity,were ameliorated after two or four weeks of intraperitoneal administration of GF.GF lowered blood glucose levels in a dose-dependent manner.Importantly,the restored blood glucose levels could persist ten days after withdrawal of GF treatment.The hepatic AKT/GSK3β/FoxO1 pathway is shown to be the main target of GF for rebalancing gluconeogenesis and glycogen synthesis in vivo and in vitro.Furthermore,GF treatment significantly reduced weight gain of db/db mice with reduced hepatic fat storage by the inhibition of de novo lipogenesis through m TOR/S6K/SREBP1 pathway.Our data provide compelling evidence to support the promising application of GF for the treatment of T2DM. | Jin Wu Yingbo Chen Xue Li Liyuan Ran Xiangdong Liu Xiaoshuang Wang Mingming Zhen Shanshan Shao Li Zeng Chunru Wang Bin Liang Jiajun Zhao Yingjie Wu | 2022 | Journal of Genetics and Genomics2022，49，4： | 0 |
